A Spirited, Fresh, Timeless Life ◦ eating healthy on the go

A lot of people have been asking us about eating healthy on the go. When we started eating an all natural healthy diet, one of the biggest challenges was figuring out how to make it work when we’re not at home. Whether we’re out shooting a wedding, traveling or spending the day with friends, we need to be able to eat.

Our number 1 go to is a green protein smoothie. The night before, we mix up one of these babies, pour it into mason jars with lids, freeze it overnight and then take it with us the next day. It takes a while to thaw so usually about half way through the day when we’re hungry, we just shake it up & drink. (Note: make sure not to fill it completely full to allow for expansion as it freezes)

Now, I know, I know, it doesn’t exactly look like the most appealing thing in the world at first. But trust me, you will come to love them over time…and the energy boost they give you is amazing!

The green smoothie is not a science. You can throw pretty much any fruit or vegetable into a blender and make it work!

A few stalks of kale and/or a few handfuls of spinach (beginners, start with spinach, it has a milder flavor…for the real energy kick, go for the kale)
1/2 orange
1/2 lemon
1 medium/large apple
1 scoop of RAW protein powder (found here)
filtered or spring water to desired consistency
(makes about 1 serving)
